Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Modeling media auto-playing as a permission? (#203)

To me, these sounds like two different things: blocking a feature (by default or not) for cross origin iframes and having this feature as a permission. Blink is looking into having "annoying" features blocked by default on cross origin iframes to prevent abuse and give better control to the top frame owner. However, we do not want to make theses permissions as requiring the user to decide whether a website should be allowed to vibrate your phone is wasted user attention.

At the moment, autoplay policies implemented by Safari and about to launch in Chrome could not easily fit into the permission model. These policies have multiple states that change depending on the user actions on the page. It would be easy to describe the state when autoplay is allowed as `allow` but all the other states would hardly transcribe properly as an "autoplay" permission.
